I have to say it's nice to be able to follow a conference that you aren't at on socials again. It was a big thing to lose with Twitter's demise. #ALTc24

'The inquiry found that the government was “well aware” of the risks posed by highly flammable cladding “but failed to act on what it knew”.' Six paragraphs in today's Guardian reporting of the Grenfell Inquiry Final Report that deserve to be widely read. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/arti...

After 400 days of evidence in an inquiry that has cost the UK taxpayer more than £200m, Moore-Bick reserved some of his most damning conclusions for central government. Sir Martin Moore-Bick.

The inquiry found that the government was “well aware” of the risks posed by highly flammable cladding “but failed to act on what it knew”.
Eric Pickles, Cameron’s housing secretary until 2015, had “enthusiastically supported” the prime minister’s drive to slash regulations and it dominated his department’s thinking to the extent that matters affecting fire safety and risk to life “were ignored, delayed or disregarded”, the inquiry concluded.

Photograph: MI News/NurPhoto/Rex/Shutterstock Pickles also failed to act on a coroner’s 2013 recommendation to tighten up fire safety regulations after a cladding fire at Lakanal House, another London council block, killed six people. It was “not treated with any sense of urgency”, the inquiry found and the tightening up had not happened by the time Grenfell went up in flames on 14 June 2017.

In cross-examination under oath, Pickles vehemently insisted the anti-red tape drive had not covered building regulations. But the inquiry said this evidence was “flatly contradicted by that of his officials and by the contemporaneous documents”.
